I wouldn't really care if I was the only person in the countless threads on this topic.

One of the joys of the forums: people are allowed to voice their opinion on the topic at hand.

While there are the people that are upset with it.. there are those that are welcoming it.

People can spin things in whatever manner they wish.. but like anything. It's up to each individual to figure out how the changes will work for or against them.

- Do I think some people are literally worried about having to give out their sensitive information.. Sure I do, but that takes me back to how many of these same people have NEVER done any kind of online transactions?

- Do I think some people are upset because now the IRS is saying.. if you're making money.. it's time to stop trying to hide your earnings? Of course I do.. but there is that wonderful thing called TAX EVASION.

Those that are talking about going over to SL.. they have the same system in place as far as needing to fill out forms for the IRS.

- Do I think people are worried about IMVU getting hacked? Yup. Once again.. they stand just as much a chance on getting hacked and broken into as ANY OTHER site. The ONLY secure system is one that is not plugged in.

I have 2 computers.. this one that is open to being hacked.. try and hack my other one. It's not going to happen, and I don't care how good of a hacker someone is.. it's not connected to the net. making it 100% safe from hackers

It can be called telling people to take this on the chin.. people are entitled to their choice of words.. the fact remains.. that it's happening and it's going to continue to go forward. People can be upset with the change.. I'll admit I was at first. But I am actually looking forward to these changes and can't wait to see how it all plays out.

If people leave.. oh well.. maybe that will make way for new creators. I have nothing against seeing new faces._________________

How about to make it more fair to creators you offer 50/100k and also get rid of the multiple unneeded currencies you have going on here at imvu we don't need tokens we don't need free credits change it to one currency and make it worth it for our hard work.

This was in the realm of discussion of what was said could be changed and debated._________________Want to check out my products?

Someone should report this help ticket thing to the relevant authority so IMVU can be slapped with a nice, big fine for violating data protection laws.

Literally the only two people in this thread expecting people to lie down and take a change which is clearly out of line and the whole reasoning is probably a lie spinned by IMVU. Nice.

Another thing which pisses me off. If the IRS was demanding this change then IMVU should have been up front about that fact right from the beginning. They should not have masqueraded around saying "oh but the users asked for this" and "oh but it is to stop theft." That sort of deception is going to bite them back one day.

^^^^^^^^ YESS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Sadly now its.. "Additional Entities"
BRETT... Are The Aliens Making You Do This?!_________________They bait us cause they ain't us.

Now what about being able to turn credits into money?
considering that the short time IMVU has given resellers and devs.. alot of us are stuck with alot of credits that will just sit there and taunt us forever.
How many threads before that gets looked into? XD

I still want to see a way for artists to continue making money with this new system. The sticker option probably wont last that long. I haven't come up with any suggestions yet that would work and not have any loopholes for thieves, UFI sellers and people doing fraud. People should probably start brainstorming and sharing their ideas while IMVU is still building the system.

This would be a cash out cow for people if IMVU just made all credits real credits.

People could make X number of accounts.. but a sticker from a main account and the main account could just keep racking in the money.

Does anyone even trust IMVU with their details after that security breach posted in the issues and bug reporting forum? Someone was able to see someone else's personal information. There is apparently even an exploit where one person can see another persons help tickets without even needing to login to their account.

Does this not worry anyone? That someone can potentially view your SSN which was attached to the form you just gave up in a help ticket? They can view your tax information too and everything else on the form.

I can't be the only one outraged by this, right?

Update. Other people are now seeing help tickets belonging to other users with personal information in them. A screenshot was posted in that thread.

IMVU this is unacceptable and it has gotten out of hand.

i've been trying to find this screenshot, but i haven't been able to find it anywhere :/
anyone have an idea?? i just really want to see it .. unless it removed..
